How the 3D Print Service works

Modified on: Thu, 17 Nov, 2016 at 12:55 PM

The below prices are a guide on how pricing through the print service works. We charge a $35 set-up fee to slice your file and for the machine's time/set-up, plus the costs of material- as you can see below. Because these are familiar models, they are able to be printed without set-up time and so they are available to purchase without any set-up fee.

For other models, simply upload your .stl or .obj file to our online quote system (https://www.bilby3d.com.au/3DPrintService.asp) and select your material/colour and shipping method for an immediate quote. If you are unsure or have specific requirements, simply click the manual check request button and a Print Service team member will create an internal quote for you. Please be sure to state the material/colour and shipping method when you are detailing your reasons for submitting a manual check, to ensure that the Print Service team member has the information they need to create a quote for you.

If your model fails to upload, it is most likely either because you model exceeds our default build area, roughly 15cm^2 even though our largest machine has the capacity to print 30.5x30.5x47.5cm, or has hidden errors that are not readily apparent in the modelling software. NetFabb, a free software, is capable of identifying these errors and can even repair simple errors, saving the hassle of remodeling. If your model does not have any highlighted lines or faces when executing the repair function, then your model is 'print ready' and you should be able to upload with no problems.
